Abstract excerpt
Janus-activated kinase-2 JAK2 is activated by hyperosmotic shock and modifies the activity of several Na(+) coupled transporters. Carriers up-regulated by osmotic shock include the Na(+) coupled osmolyte transporter BGT1 (betaine/GABA transporter 1), which accomplishes the concentrative cellular uptake of γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA). The present study thus explored whether JAK2 participates in the regulation of...
